San Diego County wildfire is 90 percent contained

A fire that briefly forced the evacuation of homes in northeastern San Diego County is 90 percent contained.

State fire spokeswoman Roxanne Provaznik says the blaze in the Pala area should be controlled Wednesday evening. Nearly 600 firefighters remain at the scene. One suffered a minor injury.

The 223-acre blaze was sparked Monday when a car hit a power pole. About three dozen homes were ordered evacuated on Monday but residents were later allowed to return and no homes are currently threatened.
